Unomed: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Unomed is a cloud platform from Unomed AG for medical practices, clinics and radiology institutes in Switzerland. Its Flows component automates practice processes between systems that do not talk to each other, and the Unomed Medical API exposes those functions in your own system. Cloud PACS archives and shares DICOM images with a browser-based viewer. With Unomed Connect you communicate with patients and referrers through chat, video and a guest portal. The vendor says it runs alongside your existing practice system, so you do not have to switch.

Unomed AG is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. Switzerland is not an EU member state but an EFTA country with an EU adequacy decision. According to its privacy policy, hosting, the database and storage of files and DICOM images are located in Switzerland. Identity checks and speech recognition are processed in the EU, in Ireland and Denmark, and speech recognition stores nothing. The pages name no parent company. Medical data is subject to strict rules, so review the data processing agreement carefully.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Unomed

Unomed is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

Unomed hosts data in Switzerland only. Switzerland is not part of the EU or the EEA, so the GDPR does not apply there directly; the European Commission does recognise Swiss data protection as adequate, so personal data can go there without extra safeguards. Our model therefore scores it between EU hosting and hosting outside Europe. If you require strictly EU hosting, take this into account.

Unomed is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Unomed together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
